Tsum Valley Circuit Trekking – 2 weeks

Tsum Valley is known as the “hidden valley” because it is located in a very remote area in the north of Kathmandu. Tsum Valley lies between the Buddha Himal and Himal Chuli to the west, Ganesh Himal to the south, and Sringi Himal to the north. Because of its remoteness and its late opening in October 2007 there is little information and no promotion manaslu tsum valley trek. The trekking starts to Tsum Valley from Arughat like round Manaslu. This is camping trek or we can do lodge trekking also, but preferably, tented trek is better idea. You can expect more than two to three weeks trekking in this region and area. . During this trek you will have breathtaking views of the mountains; you will see stupas, monasteries and discover the lifestyle of Tibetans. ‘Tsum’ which is derived from the Tibetan word-Tsombo, which means live. True to its name, the Tsum valley keeps still its natural treasures. Natural and clear streams, teeming with varieties of vegetation, exotic scenic mountains, waterfalls, hot springs and ancient relics. An interesting feature of this trek is the contact with the local population, its unique culture and lifestyle that are remained authentic.
